Christmas Gift Ideas for Phone Addicts From Trendz and giveaway

November 12, 2015

These days’ phones do so much more than just make calls. I know I would be really lost if I misplaced my phone. As well as using as an address book and diary it stores all my phone numbers and contact information. It is handy to grab my phone when I want to take a quick photo of something when I am out and about and it is also useful for browsing the internet and catching up with my emails when I am on a bus. The kindle app allows me to read a book when I want and if I want to relax with a game there it is on my phone. I usually play plants vs zombies but those pesky zombies tend to end up eating my brains.

With a phone being such an essential part of our lives there is nothing worse than being out and about and finding it has run out of charge. This happened to me the other day, I usually charge my phone up at night so it is ready for the day. Just as I was leaving the house I noticed it hadn’t charged. I need my phone to keep in touch with my son so I know he is on his school bus so this was a bit of a disaster. Luckily Trendz had recently sent me a couple of their products to try which saved the day. A USB Bullet Charger which allowed me to charge my phone in the car using the 12v socket and a Micro USB Data and Charge Cable which I could plug into it and charge my phone. Both of these would make a perfect Christmas gift ideas for phone addicts who need to have their phone on all the time.

2.1A Single USB charger

This worked really well, just plug it into the car and plug in the USB cable and you are ready to charge your phone. What I loved about it was the funky polka dot design; most of these chargers are white which is a bit boring. The polka dots are really cheerful and make it more interesting to look at. If you do not like polka dots there are two other designs to choose from, Ditsy and Vintage Bird. RRP £6.99

Micro USB Data and Charge Cable

It is always a good idea to have a spare phone cable in your pocket or handbag just in case you need to use it. This charge cable fits perfectly into my bag and is a lovely funky pink colour making it easy to find. If you prefer a different colour it also comes in blue and white. It works perfectly with my android phone, charging it in no time. I currently use a Samsung K Zoom which I love for its camera, find out how I put it though it’s paces on a trip to Flamingo Land. RRP: £9.99

Trendz products are available in most high street and on line retailers. You can also find out more information on their website.

When I arrived a our local photo shop to print out some photos from my phone! I got to the shop and my phone was off as the batteries had run out – so I couldn’t switch it on to print out my photos – wasn’t happy!

When I was in the middle of the lakes in an area unknown to me and my sat nav decided to freeze (I sent it back in the end and got a refund as it was faulty!) and my phone gave out too and I had to use my nose to find our hotel!

When I finished a night shift 2 hours early and tried to ring my partner to pick me up and the phone died just as he answered! Everyone else had gone home so I was stranded until the morning buses started!

supposed to meet my fourteen year old niece at southbank but due to public transport issues I was going to be an hour late. Phone died and I could not contact her and I could not remember her mobile or anyone relevant’s phone number to reach her. Fortunately she had the sense to just wait at the agreed spot to quote her ‘I knew you would turn up eventually’ but could have been different outcome!

On the phone back from Cardiff – was desperately trying to get in touch with the hubster to let him know my train was delayed…..and my phone died in the process – needless to say it was a wet miserable walk home

Hubby & I had gone our separate ways in town to try & save time & my phone ran out of power so it cost us more time trying to find each other again than if we had done everything together in the first place!

Got a puncture, knew how to change tyre but at 68 I don’t have the strength. Phone dead as a dodo. On a country lane, getting dark but luckily near a friend’s house on this occasion and she changed the tyre for me.

My boss and I used to keep bees together, we were going to fetch a swarm and my battery went flat. He didn’t have the address but had all our equipment, I had the address but no equipment. Was a nightmare.

When I was out with the kids. It turned into a really miserable day, pouring with rain, we got lost and the kids were hungry. It ended up being a very stressful afternoon. Made worse because I couldn’t even text/ring hubbie to direct me!!
